I don't think that fits your "track" analogy. Judge,

Just to let you know a stud is a male bovine used for breeding purposes. I don’t think that fits your “track” analogy.

I agree with you, and hope they pickup a more defensive minded player, but I would not be surprised if they pick up Hedo. David,

There's no "D" in Turkoglu AND he sounds like a bit of a high-maintenance headache. Nate wants a strong defensive club and the Blazers' defense will not be better with Hedo on the floor. Grammar/spelling rant: why can't people, even supposedly professional journalists understand the difference between "complimentary" and "complementary"? While it might be nice for Hedo to heap praise on his teammates, it would be better if he were one piece of the puzzle. I’m not buying it.

I would suggest tuning in to see the team USA scrimmage that will happen at the end of the month. At that point we should get a little peek at how Oden has been spending his summer so far.

Just fired Coach Curry. Send em outlaw and whatever change to get it done. Prince's name had been floating around awhile back so I am guessing they are at least entertaining offers. Besides, if you bring in Hedo, you probably gotta move T.O. anyway. ZigTic: Detroit is now rebuilding. Just fired Coach Curry. Send em outlaw and whatever change to get it done.

I have nothing against Oden going to school to finish his education. If education was that important, he should have remained at Ohio State to do that and improve as a player. However, he has a job now--it's called playing center for the Portland Trailblazers. Dwight, you know as well as I Stu Inman would call Oden a "project" with great potential but needing enormous amount of work to improve his skills. There have been no reports of Oden's activities this summer other than a mention regarding he and Bayless doing some training. I'm fearful without enough time spent concentrating on getting better this summer, the Blazers will fall well short of moving forward towards their goal as NBA champions.

Better defender, almost as good at the 3 point line. Tayshawn Prince is much more like it. Better defender, almost as good at the 3 point line.
